Anthony Quinn’s divorce fight with wife of three decades, Iolanda Quinn, is getting interesting.

Court papers filed by the 81-year-old actor allege that Iolanda hired a private detective “for $25,000 in cash to follow, stalk, photograph and ‘terminate’ my wife’s rival for my affections.”

According to Quinn’s estranged wife, his claims that she performed voodoo rites along with setting up a potential hit on Benvin are “totally ludicrous.”
